Professional services firm PwC has announced its sponsorship of the Top 10 Employers in Bermuda survey.Published by The Bottom Line, the workplace survey is in its fourth year and endeavours to highlight businesses that offer the most rewarding employment environments in Bermuda.“PwC is pleased to sponsor the 2012 edition of the Top 10 Employers in Bermuda competition,” said Darren Johnston, PwC’s territory senior partner. “As a professional services firm we think it’s really important to recognise those employers on the Island who stand out and show unwavering support for their most valuable resource, their people, especially in this challenging economic environment.”He added: “This competition does a great job of highlighting and celebrating organisations in Bermuda who ‘go above and beyond’ and put their people first through best-in-class initiatives, programmes and support. That’s why we’ve decided to support this worthy competition.”The survey’s two phases focus on generating data from both employers and employees regarding a number of key employment areas including staff benefits, hiring rates, workplace safety and conditions, internal communication, compensation, corporate culture and overall satisfaction, among other areas.This is the second year the survey has partnered with Mindmaps, one of Bermuda’s leading quantitative research firms, to create the online survey and provide statistical analysis of the key measurement areas.A panel of industry experts will then review a cross section of answers from the entrants and provide their feedback.“We are very excited about PwC’s sponsorship,” said Jonathan Kent, editor of The Bottom Line. “We have worked very hard to develop our survey, which highlights some of the progressive and forward-thinking programmes companies have in place in Bermuda. We very much look forward to the partnership.”The survey results will be published in the October issue of The Bottom Line, out in The Royal Gazette on Monday, October 1.
